Lee Anderson on Wednesday won a recount of votes in the Aug. 21 Republican primary runoff in the 12th Congressional District.

The state representative from Grovetown remained 159 votes ahead of Rick Allen.

He will face four-term Democratic incumbent John Barrow on Nov. 6.

“Now is the time,” Anderson said in a prepared statement, “to work together to stop the Obama-Barrow agenda that’s saddling our children and grandchildren with debt and threatening the future of our country.”

That reflects a GOP strategy of linking Barrow to Democratic president Barack Obama.
